Why the Czech Philharmonic deserves your vote for the 2024 Orchestra of the Year Award
Gramophone's Orchestra of the Year Award is the only Gramophone Classical Music Award decided by public vote (vote here). The six orchestras nominated this year are:
Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Czech Philharmonic, Les Talens Lyriques, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and Sinfonia of London

Czech Philharmonic
That the Czech Philharmonic should have brought such rich sensitivity to Magdalena Kožená’s recital of Czech songs (07/24), or together with Semyon Bychkov offered an account of Smetana’s Má vlast so powerfully resonant in understanding and affection (04/24), comes as no surprise. But add in a revelatory Mahler Symphony No 1 (11/23), or even the recent album of contemporary works from the orchestra's Wind Ensemble, ‘Chromosphere’ (2/24), and you find yourself in the company of a thoroughbred orchestra of immaculate virtuosity.
